Classes

HashLocationStrategy

A LocationStrategy used to configure the Location service to represent its state in the hash fragment of the browser's URL.

Location

A service that applications can use to interact with a browser's URL.

LocationStrategy

LocationStrategy is responsible for representing and reading route state from the browser's URL. Angular provides two strategies: HashLocationStrategy and PathLocationStrategy.

NgForOfContext
NgIfContext
NgLocaleLocalization

Returns the plural case based on the locale

NgLocalization
PathLocationStrategy

A LocationStrategy used to configure the Location service to represent its state in the path of the browser's URL.

PlatformLocation

This class should not be used directly by an application developer. Instead, use Location.

ViewportScroller

Defines a scroll position manager. Implemented by BrowserViewportScroller.

Range of week days that are considered the week-end for the given locale.

getNumberOfCurrencyDigits

isPlatformWorkerApp

Returns whether a platform id represents a web worker app platform.

isPlatformWorkerUi

Returns whether a platform id represents a web worker UI platform.

registerLocaleData

Register global data to be used internally by Angular. See the "I18n guide" to know how to import additional locale data.

Structures

FormStyle

Context-dependant translation forms for strings. Typically the standalone version is for the nominative form of the word, and the format version is used for the genitive case.

FormatWidth

String widths available for date-time formats. The specific character widths are locale-specific. Examples are given for en-US.

KeyValue

A key value pair. Usually used to represent the key value pairs from a Map or Object.

LocationChangeEvent

A serializable version of the event from onPopState or onHashChange

LocationChangeListener
NumberFormatStyle

Format styles that can be used to represent numbers.

NumberSymbol

Symbols that can be used to replace placeholders in number patterns. Examples are based on en-US values.

Plural

Plurality cases used for translating plurals to different languages.

PopStateEvent
TranslationWidth

String widths available for translations. The specific character widths are locale-specific. Examples are given for the word "Sunday" in English.

WeekDay

The value for each day of the week, based on the en-US locale

Directives

NgClass

Adds and removes CSS classes on an HTML element.

NgComponentOutlet

Instantiates a single Component type and inserts its Host View into current View. NgComponentOutlet provides a declarative approach for dynamic component creation.

NgForOf

A structural directive that renders a template for each item in a collection. The directive is placed on an element, which becomes the parent of the cloned templates.

NgIf

A structural directive that conditionally includes a template based on the value of an expression coerced to Boolean. When the expression evaluates to true, Angular renders the template provided in a then clause, and when false or null, Angular renders the template provided in an optional else clause. The default template for the else clause is blank.

NgPlural

Adds / removes DOM sub-trees based on a numeric value. Tailored for pluralization.

NgPluralCase

Creates a view that will be added/removed from the parent NgPlural when the given expression matches the plural expression according to CLDR rules.

NgStyle

An attribute directive that updates styles for the containing HTML element. Sets one or more style properties, specified as colon-separated key-value pairs. The key is a style name, with an optional .<unit> suffix (such as 'top.px', 'font-style.em'). The value is an expression to be evaluated. The resulting non-null value, expressed in the given unit, is assigned to the given style property. If the result of evaluation is null, the corresponding style is removed.

NgSwitch

A structural directive that adds or removes templates (displaying or hiding views) when the next match expression matches the switch expression.

NgSwitchCase

Provides a switch case expression to match against an enclosing ngSwitch expression. When the expressions match, the given NgSwitchCase template is rendered. If multiple match expressions match the switch expression value, all of them are displayed.

NgSwitchDefault

Creates a view that is rendered when no NgSwitchCase expressions match the NgSwitch expression. This statement should be the final case in an NgSwitch.

NgTemplateOutlet

Inserts an embedded view from a prepared TemplateRef.

Pipes

AsyncPipe

Unwraps a value from an asynchronous primitive.

CurrencyPipe

Transforms a number to a currency string, formatted according to locale rules that determine group sizing and separator, decimal-point character, and other locale-specific configurations.

DatePipe

Formats a date value according to locale rules.

DecimalPipe

Transforms a number into a string, formatted according to locale rules that determine group sizing and separator, decimal-point character, and other locale-specific configurations.

DeprecatedCurrencyPipe

Formats a number as currency using locale rules.

DeprecatedDatePipe

Formats a date according to locale rules.

DeprecatedDecimalPipe

Formats a number as text. Group sizing and separator and other locale-specific configurations are based on the active locale.

DeprecatedPercentPipe

Formats a number as percentage according to locale rules.

I18nPluralPipe

Maps a value to a string that pluralizes the value according to locale rules.

I18nSelectPipe

Generic selector that displays the string that matches the current value.

JsonPipe

Converts a value into its JSON-format representation. Useful for debugging.

KeyValuePipe

Transforms Object or Map into an array of key value pairs.

LowerCasePipe

Transforms text to all lower case.

PercentPipe

Transforms a number to a percentage string, formatted according to locale rules that determine group sizing and separator, decimal-point character, and other locale-specific configurations.

SlicePipe

Creates a new Array or String containing a subset (slice) of the elements.

TitleCasePipe

Transforms text to title case. Capitalizes the first letter of each word, and transforms the rest of the word to lower case. Words are delimited by any whitespace character, such as a space, tab, or line-feed character.

UpperCasePipe

Transforms text to all upper case.

Types

APP_BASE_HREF

A predefined DI token for the base href to be used with the PathLocationStrategy. The base href is the URL prefix that should be preserved when generating and recognizing URLs.

DOCUMENT

A DI Token representing the main rendering context. In a browser this is the DOM Document.

LOCATION_INITIALIZED

Indicates when a location is initialized.

Time

Represents a time value with hours and minutes.
